    55 In OpenTTD, you can build rail stations up to seven squares long and with up to seven platforms. You can also have stations spreading across far larger distances, allowing a large rail station to be connected to a large airport, for instance.

    57 However, there is an even more noticable difference in rail station construction. You may now add platforms and lenght to a station after it has been built, and you may also add platforms of a different type. Users of TTDPatch will be used to this behaviour. But beyond what TTDPatch has, you can make stations of uneven lenght/width, and even ones with perpendicular tracks. You can also delete single tiles or tracks from a station, by holding down Shift before pressing the station construction button.

    62 Checkpoint stations (the small blue item in the rail construction window) are small 1x1 stations. They must be built on top of pre-existing track. They do not accept or produce carge of any kind. They exist solely for use as route points. They become useful when dealing with large networks  where trains may attempt to route themselves along undesirable or impossible routes. As an alternative to checkpoint stations, you can also direct trains to visit depots along the way. This has the advantage of also servicing the train and hence the train will rarely to never need to depart from its route to be serviced.
